How to Merge, Split, and Edit PDFs Online for Free
PDF files are a standard for document sharing, but working with them often requires expensive software like Adobe Acrobat. Whether you need to combine multiple PDFs into one file, extract specific pages from a large document, or reorder pages, you can do it all online for free. This guide shows you how to merge, split, and edit PDFs using fixie.tools — no signup, no file limits, completely free.
Step 1: Open the PDF Toolkit
Go to fixie.tools/pdf in your web browser. The tool works on all devices without requiring software installation or account creation. All PDF processing happens securely in your browser or on our servers with automatic file deletion after 24 hours.
Step 2: Choose Your Operation
Select the operation you want to perform from the available options. You can merge multiple PDFs into a single file, split a PDF into separate files (by page ranges or individual pages), reorder pages within a PDF by dragging and dropping, rotate pages that are oriented incorrectly, or delete unwanted pages from a PDF. Each operation has its own interface optimized for that specific task.
Step 3: Upload Your PDF Files
Click the upload area or drag and drop your PDF files. For merging, you can upload multiple PDFs at once and arrange them in the order you want them combined. For splitting or editing, upload a single PDF file. Files up to 50MB are supported.
Step 4: Configure Your Operation
Depending on the operation, configure the settings. For merging, drag and drop uploaded files to reorder them before combining. For splitting, specify which pages to extract (e.g., pages 1-5, 10-15) or split into individual pages. For editing, use the visual page preview to select, reorder, rotate, or delete pages.
Step 5: Process and Download
Click the process button to perform the operation. Processing typically takes 5-15 seconds depending on file size and complexity. Once complete, download your modified PDF file. The result maintains all original text, images, and formatting. Your uploaded files are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
